# changes.get

One change order with its lines, totals, status, signature and invoice.

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/change-orders/get` |
| MCP tool | `changes_get` |
| Writes | no |
| Area | [Field work (checklists, forms, time, notes, change orders, subcontractors)](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#field-work-checklists-forms-time-notes-change-orders-subcontractors) |

## When to use it

A change order is a priced change to a job's scope: extra work, or a credit for work taken out. A worker writes the lines (changes.create; never fill prices in yourself).

## What to tell the owner

Tell them what you found in plain words. Don't read back raw fields.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `change_order_id` | string (uuid) | yes |

## Example

```http
GET https://doingwork.work/v1/change-orders/get?change_order_id=00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000
